Elite-Screens-ezFrame.jpgWhen I initially got into front projection, my first screen was from a little-known company called Elite. Why did I choose to buy Elite way back in the day, fresh out of college? Simply put, it was cost. After weeks of research, prior to buying my meager entry-level Epson projector, Elite was the only company that made a 120-inch electric screen for under $500, which, when you think about it, is somewhat astonishing. The truth is, everything Elite makes is super-affordable and geared towards the newly-initiated, though they offer many products now aimed at higher-end customers. The ezFrame screen reviewed here can go both ways.

The ezFrame fixed screen is a fully tensioned, non-motorized screen that hangs on your wall much in the same way a large picture or mirror would. It features a velvet aluminum frame that keeps the screen surface permanently tensioned for a wrinkle-free picture. The screen is available in both 4:3 and 16:9 configurations and can be ordered in a variety of materials, including a perforated acoustic finish that will allow you to place your speakers behind the screen itself for a stealth installation. Best of all, it is truly affordable in ways other manufacturers can only dream of making their products.

I just purchased the 106" EZFrame after reading this review. I had been shopping for a few weeks looking at quite a few different screens. What drew me to this screen was the quality and cost. I have not found a higher quality screen for the price. The frame is high quality aluminum and is put together with sturdy brackets and machine screws; all the holes were perfectly aligned. The screen is a high quality PVC and is attached with plastic tabs. It sounds cheap but its really effective and very easy to assemble using the pattern recommended in the manual, with a little help from my wife, we assembled and hung the screen in about an hour.
This screen produces an excellent picture, with no hot spots using my Epson Home Cinema 8100. I chose the Cinewhite screen material. You're not going to find a higher quality fix frame screen for the price that Elite offers. Match it up with one of the new lower cost 1080p projectors and you'll be really happy.
